I saw the scatterlight streaming
Down through the century trees
Bloodfern and juniper
Sweeteye and shattercane weeds

I saw the cloud from the cabin
Slate rock and teeming with storm
Carrion bird caught in the hearth
And killed by collision with door
Feathers all over the floor

I’ll be home where I go
I’ll be home wherever I go
I’ll be home where I go someday

Buckshot rang out in the distance
Over and over again
River the moon shiver
I saw my sister jump in

And I saw my brother in Dallas
Quietly drunk every day
Gentle and kind and lost in his mind
And surprised when his wife went away

And I saw the killers in costume
And I saw their satellites burn
And I saw them measure their money
In whether they look like the people they hurt
Maybe that’s just who we were
